How many of you are using gear pumps instead of diaphragm types and what filter element (micron) sizes are you using?

In the pictures I posted there is a bright red filter near the pump and it is a disk type that can be disassembled and cleaned as needed such as when a trans fails. That is the way Patrick set it up and the continuous filter may help prolong the internals life. One thing we did do was to look at the fluid with a very bright light for any microscopic "gold" which was an indication of a possible bearing failure.
I generally changed transmissions a couple times a year, short gear box (K-Q-V)for PIR, Button Willow and all the Mexico road races and long box (M-S-X) for Willow Springs and CA Speedway. This gave me a chance to check the fluid quite a lot. |
